I help fast-moving teams build, scale, and ship backend systems with clean, maintainable code.
- π§ 9 years in backend & cloud (Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS)
- π Worked on B2B SaaS platforms, event-driven systems, and multi-region infrastructure
- π€ Collaborated closely with product managers and founders β async, autonomous, and reliable
- π Open to freelance, consulting, or full/part-time backend roles (remote only)
Iβm best at:
- Building MVPs fast β from blank repo to live in 4-6 weeks
- Cleaning up legacy systems β refactor, modularize, containerize
- Scaling backends β queues, observability, rate limits, cloud infra
- Owning slices of the product β APIs, auth, deployment, team onboarding
